RPG Pundit vs LotFP!

OK, not really. Makes for a catchy headline though. I did send him my stuff for review, and the Pundit certainly takes the time to go in-depth and deliver a thorough review no matter what his final judgment ends up being.

Pundit tends to dislike anyone who's "active" in what he sees as a group self-promotion calling itself the OSR. And he often reads that presumption into things.

All told, though, at least he did a fairly decent job of describing why, as a reviewer, he did or didn't like something. That allows someone with different likes and dislikes to spot that one guy's negative review is actually a good review for what he wants.

Nevertheless, he isn't someone I would have chosen as a reviewer. There's rather a lot of baggage being carried there.
